Manuka Honey
Humectant, soothing agent
INCI
Manuka honey is produced by bees that pollinate the Leptospermum scoparium shrub, native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. Unlike conventional honey, manuka honey contains elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), the compound responsible for its well-documented antimicrobial activity.
In skincare, manuka honey functions as both a powerful humectant and a bioactive soothing ingredient. It attracts and retains moisture while helping reduce visible inflammation and support a balanced skin microbiome. Clinical research supports its role in wound healing, barrier recovery, and calming compromised skin.
